| Imelda Staunton played The Baker's Wife in the original London production of Into the Woods and was truly magnificent - comic and heartbreaking. She won the Olivier award for Best Actress in a Musical (the second of her four Oliviers). Obviously it was in a very different production to the broadway incarnation - this one directed by Richard Jones which overall felt darker and more Grimm-esque I preferred it to the Lapine original and Staunton to Gleason - but maybe that's because I only saw the Broadway version once whilst I was a repeat visitor to the relatively short-lived London production. |
